In this quarantine period, most of us are really missing the saloon. Our hair needs some tlc! Well here’s a solution, ALOE VERA.
Aloe Vera is a plant that has great benefits in the human body. It contains proteolytic enzymes which repairs dead skin cells on the scalp. It acts as a great conditioner leaving your hair all smooth and shiny. Most importantly, it promotes hair growth, prevents itching on the scalp and reduces dandruff.
This article will focus on one way to use it, Aloe Vera as essential hair oil. All you need is to follow these easy steps below and you can take care of your hair in the comfort of your home.
- Take an Aloe Vera leaf (make sure it’s washed), slice out the sharp edges then cut it in half to reveal the gel.
- Cut it into thin slices then put the slices in a glass bowl/cup where you will add a desired amount of olive oil.
- Switch on your stove and place a pan with water. ( 1-2 cups of water)
- Grab the glass bowl/cup and put it on the pan on the stove. This will allow the mixture to heat up indirectly. As the water in the pan boils, the heat allows the release of nutrients from the Aloe Vera to the olive oil.
- When the mixture in the bowl turns brown, switch off your stove.
- Take down the glass bowl/cup and add up a desired amount of castor oil to the mixture. Castor oil thickens the hair.
- Transfer the entire mixture into a dropper to enable easy application on your hair.
This treatment can be used on all types of hair and changes can be seen as early as a month. Taking care of your hair is quite essential so show your hair some love by doing this treatment, it will definitely love you back.
